Pat McAfee criticized the NCAA for denying James Madison University’s postseason waiver request. JMU is transitioning from the FCS to the FBS, and despite being ranked No. 18 in the AP polls, they are now at risk of ending their season without a bowl game due to the NCAA’s decision. McAfee called the NCAA decision “so dumb” and “archaic” and expressed disbelief at the ruling. He also mentioned similar waivers being denied to other schools, further aggravating the situation. Despite their flawless season in the Sun Belt Conference, the Dukes might not be able to compete in the SBC championship game or secure an FBS Bowl game due to the waiver rejection. Whether the NCAA’s decision was justified or not remains a topic of discussion.
